The yield of wheat per acre in the
valleys of Las Animas county is
from twenty Eve to thirty bush els.
Two years ago q ranchman showed
rs sample of Egyptian, which he
says yielded eighty.fve bushels to
the acre. This seems like. fabu-
lous yield, but it is undoubtedly true,
as the ranchman is q very reliable
gentleman. He also exhibited SAM
Piles of white Australian wheat that
yielded IS high as sixty bushel, to
the acre. The Egyptian is peculiar
looking wheat. The principal head
is of ordinary size, with cluster of
four or FIVE smaller heads projecting
from the lower end of it, and the
kernals are so very large and their
number 90 numerous upon each stalk
that the enormous yield is more east
ly accounted for. The white Aus
tralian has a very large head, and
the kernals are in q cluster of three
on each side of the stalk, and each
head contains from s5 to $50 kernals.
All the samples, and he had many on
exhibition, were the largest and finest
we have ever seen. The wheat is all
of bright yellow or golden color,
instead of the dark red color of the
Minnesota wheat, and the kernale are
large, plump and hard, and average
at least one-half larger than the Min
nesota wheat. 1t makes fine flower
of bright, golden tint.-[Trinidad

There is = united, concentrated
effort on the part of the people of
the new town Of Lamar, Colorado,
to boom their town. aad Just to show
what effect such action will hsye in
any case, and has had in the case of
Lamar, it il only necessary to stsee
that at the sale Of town lots In Lamar
on Monday, twelve lots were sold on
the main street Of the town for an
average price of el, 900 each. I'm the
addition to Lamar, which has been
plstted and laid out in town lots,
$4,000 worth of lots we're sold, max
ing the days sales foot up to the
snug snm of $4,000. This reeult
was accomplished by united effort
on the part of the people Of Lamar
to boom the town, and by systematic.
advertising of the town, its advsn-
tages and resources. Here is Al evi-
dence of what can be done by earnest
endeavor, yet at the meeting of the
Pueblo board of trade yesterday for
the annual election of oficers, there
were not enough members present to
Justify an election of officers. Our
people should wake up.-TPaeblo

Employer Of $500.

Victor B. Dominica, late bookke
or and cashier at Manor's stable, on
Monroe street, has Joined the great
horde OF absent ones for whom the
police would cheeriully pay railroad
fare for thier return. Dominic ,,was one
OF the dandy class who reysl In the
best the country affords and is never
without funds. Aside from his own
extravagsnt tastes and desires, which
never remained snsstisfied any great
lenRth.of time, he supported dusky
damsel In the most lavish luxurious
nees. The proprietor beheld all this
recklessness with sad heart, and en-.
tered q friendly protect, to which
Dominica responded with pie crust
promises.
Last Saturday night Mr.. Mano,'s
curiosity led him to peep into the
cash drawer, where he expected 10
find $50. 1t was not there. There
was only 81; the other 1923 was being
kept by the cashier. When asked for
an explanation the plausible young
man assured his emp. oyer the money
would be all right In q day or two.
This aroused Manor'e suspicion and
he began an investigation, In the
course Of which he discovered that bis
trusted bookkeeper had been syste-
maticsily robbing him. Bills marked
unpaid on the books were found paid
and receipted in the hands OF sup
posed debtors. When confronted
with the proofs OF his guilt, Dominica
broke down and made full confess
sion, acknowledging that he had
robbed his employer. He was given
two days time to make good the
amount, which he promised to do. He
has not been seen since. Tbs amount
OF his shortage is estimated at $500. A
search among his effects resulted In
the discovery OF the following letter
